Dragon Age 3: Inquisition announced

After months of hinting and teasing about a new Dragon Age game, BioWare has finally announced the next installment in fantasy RPG series, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition

BioWare hinted about a new Dragon Age game at PAX East, and even asked for feedback on the series from fans. After all that, BioWare has finally announced the next installment in fantasy RPG series, Dragon Age 3: Inquisition.

"The Dragon Age team has been working on Dragon Age 3: Inquisition for almost two years now," said Aaryn Flynn, general manager of BioWare Edmonton and BioWare Montreal. "We've been poring over player feedback from past games and connecting directly with our fans. They haven't held back, so we're not either. With Dragon Age 3: Inquisition, we want to give fans what they're asking for--a great story with choices that matter, a massive world to explore, deep customization and combat that is both tactical and visceral."

The game will use DICE's Frostbite 2 engine, and is expected to come out in late 2013. Curiously, no platforms were mentioned in the release. Executive Producer Mark Darrah said in a post on the official blog that they still have nothing to show, but fans can expect "a more expansive world, better visuals, more reactivity to player choices, and more customization."
